Everybody loves to cheer for the under dog, and I definitely am, I’m a rookie.

I want to win races and I wanted people to know that.

Winning was always the goal; it was really one of the only times I put ‘girl’ into my vocabulary – like it would be nice to be the first woman to do that. What it changes is things on the outside like the media, the endorsements and the fan attention. It doesn’t change me as a driver.

What stands out about racing in Canada is how educated and how excited all the fans are.

One of the things that happens after I won, is that you want to win again so quickly. You get a little taste and you want it back.
